England and fish and chips

[homedeeth]

i was stood in my local chip shop last night and was amazed by the amount of customers queueing up for fish and chips. i started wondering whether there are any similar places around the world where people stand for hours

I've spent hours queueing at my bank... useless fekkers...

They had the temerity to tell me they don't do fish and Chips either!

Well, I don't know if they stand for hours in a queue, but in some parts of Germany their equivalent of fish and chips is sausage and chips. You go to a shop that's similar to our fish and chip shops and you queue for a while, and you take your supper home from the sausage and chips shop.

Bakeries in France; when the queue is coming out of the door you know it's a good one. The french aren't patient people but will wait quite a while for a good baguette!

Here, in Ontario, there are long line-ups of cars at the drive-thru windows at "Tim Horton" coffe shops every morning. Quite often these lines extend onto the street and block regular traffic. Meanwhile, there's hardly anyone actually in the store buying coffee!
